Good post, you beat me to it! This OS is so small, it could conceivably run on a wrist-watch, or other very small embeded devices. Which would be a good idea, since the interface to most watches really sucks (setting the date, time, alarms, etc). On their web site, it says that this OS could run on a chip on an Ethernet card.
Try right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting "minimize all".
I prefer WinKey-D to show the desktop. Windows has a few usefull key shortcuts, some I use most often are Win-R to open the Run dialog, Win-E to open the explorer, and Win-D to show desktop.
If they live in the North, they might go to Canada ( Canada and the US are indistiguishable IMO ) and if they live in the south they might visit Mexico. Those who have visited Mexico have probably never visited Canada and those who have visited Canada have probably never visited Mexico.
Most Americans couldn't find Canada or Mexico on a map, let alone visited one of those countries.
We made several tech support queries to SuSE and Red Hat using a third party's credentials. We sent via e-mail four questions to both providers that ranged from neophyte to advanced, to both providers. Red Hat replied with the answers within an average of two hours, and SuSE within eight. All answers were correct, but the replies from the Red Hat staff added more information about the suggestions they proposed.
This is an interesting test that I haven't seen done before. Interesting to note that Suse took much longer to reply to the emails, although the article doesn't mention if the Suse support people are located in Germany, and if the time zone difference could be the cause. Red Hat's more detailed responses sounds like a plus, though. Although I would like to have seen the actual questions and responses. Anyway, this sort of thing is important for a company like mine, where we use Linux, but can't (or won't) afford 24/7 support (I should mention that Linux isn't a primary platform here, we do have 24/7 vendor support for our mission critical systems). So getting a quick response on emails is a big selling feature.
What's my opinion? Well thanks for asking. I really just think that this is a good program gone bad. Perhaps there's a bug in some popular program like Kazaa
You could be on to something there.. along the same line, it could be a bug in those hardware based home NAT routers that are becoming popular, or even Linux NAT kernel code, which would explain why the reserved addersses are showing up (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc).
With the demise of so called 'blue collar' jobs and now the demise of 'white collar' jobs, what, if anything will actually be done in developed western countries like the United States and Europe?
The future will be in the service industry.. people will pay to feel good. We can't compete with third world countries in manufacturing.
It seems that internet domains are becomming a natural resource for some small countries, just like forestry or mining. If you're not going to use them, just sell them to a richer country!
The biggest problem for begginers is GUI's. Back in the 80's, I was a pretty good programmer on DOS and other systems using text based procedural programming (C, COBOL, FORTRAN, PASCAL, BASIC, Assembly). When the GUI started taking over, I found it extremely difficult to make the transition, it's a whole other world to learn. When a beginner is faced with the task of learning programming, plus learning the API and methodologies of GUI programming, it must be an almost impossible task to get started in. Plus I'm sure most beginners are not going to be excited to make console based apps, they are going to want Windowed apps. But I'm sure they will have an easier time if they forget about GUI's for a while and just learn the basics.

Lititage? Who would they sue?
So does this mean that Photoshop will now work in the current version of Wine? The article doesn't make it clear..

Haha, if you're lucky! You're one small step from becoming a midnight-shift printer monkey, bud! ;-)
Yep, right along side BSD...
Yeah, and don't forget punch cards were a pain in the ass to work with in the 60's.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about an Apple II being too fast before..
And maybe Taco is colour blind? That might explain a lot...

You'd be surprised at the amount of porn a plantation farmer can download.
Nah, it probably says "Powered by Honda" followed by a VTEC sticker.
100 posts would take all day .. just limit it to the stories posted by Taco.
That's a nice way to describe a dupe!

Haha, they didn't give in, they are fighting it. If they had of complied by the dead line, then they would have given in.

Most articles are dupes ... I have a bad short-term memory, so I still enjoy reading Slashdot.
Or simply, New GNU.

Sorry, couldn't resist the obscure SNL reference. :-)
